The Hall of Fame Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant wore this reversible Western Conference All-Star Team practice jersey on February 10th, 2001, in a practice before the 2001 NBA All-Star Game at MCI Center in Washington, D.C. This All-Star appearance was Bryant’s third of 18 career All-Star selections in his legendary 20-season career. The former Lower Merion High School state champion led the West in both scoring and assists, posting 19 points and seven assists alongside fellow West starters Jason Kidd, Tim Duncan, Chris Webber, and Kevin Garnett in the Eastern Conference’s 111-110 win. At the time of the game, Bryant was the leading scorer in the NBA. The second-generation NBA star finished the 2000-01 season averaging 28.5 points per game as the Lakers won their second of three consecutive NBA titles with a five-game victory over the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA Finals.

This offered reversible practice jersey features a white side and a black side. The white side features the 2001 NBA All-Star Game logo printed on the front, with a secretarial signature of Kobe Bryant with “BRYANT” and his number “8” printed on the back in black. A small stain is present on the white side. The black side also features a 2001 NBA All-Star Game logo on the front, with “BRYANT” and “8” printed on the back in white lettering. A Champion size “XXL” tag and a NBA Authentics tag are sewn on the black side of the jersey. This historic jersey comes with a LOA from Resolution Photomatching that photo matches the jersey to the February 10th practice.
